A four-year-old boy called 911 because he wanted to give a police officer a hug. Body-worn camera captures the moment a deputy responded to a call from a young boy in Florida who dialed 911 not because of an emergency, but because he simply wanted to hug a deputy. The footage shows Deputy Prachet at the boy’s home as he explains to the child’s mother how officers had received a call from the address. His mother calls the young boy over and asks him if he called the police. The little boy replies: “Well, I wanted to give him a hug.” Deputy Pracht shares a hug, and takes a moment to teach the importance of the emergency line.
